Chapter 10

"Settle down everyone," shouted Dumbledore.

"What's happening? Where has Harry gone?" asked Hermione.

"Rumor has it that he is staying in Diagon Ally, actually he has bought a house according to the rumors. We are going to have a look and see if it is true," said Dumbledore.

"Come on then," said Ron.

"This is the door apparently," said Dumbledore, knocking on the door.

The door opened and in all his glory stood Harry Potter, who appeared to be neither scared nor bothered that Dumbledore had found him.

"What do you lot want? I've done what was asked of me, you can leave me alone now" said Harry lazily.

"Harry! You know it's not safe! Death Eaters are still out and roaming around! You need to go back to your relatives!" said Dumbledore acting like a concerned headmaster. He could not even threaten Harry because they were in Diagon Ally, people coming and going all the time.

"You must be joking if you think I'm ever going to listen to you ever again old man. Push me too far and I will tell the whole world that you left me knowing I was going to be abused" said Harry not at all scared of Dumbledore. How could he be when he had just defeated Voldemort?

"What have I done Harry?" asked Dumbledore loosing his twinkle.

"You're a fool, get away from my door. None of you are welcome here," said Harry shutting the door.

"Don't make us barge in" said Dumbledore.

"You can try!" said Harry almost tauntingly.

"How will you ever afford to keep this place?" questioned Dumbledore grandfatherly.

The door opened, Dumbledore stopped himself from smirking, and there the boy was already giving up.

"I have already paid for it, I now have full control over my vaults you thought you could keep from me Dumbledore" snapped Harry angry.

"I didn't keep them from you Harry, I was your account manager, someone who gets to look over them until you are of age" said Dumbledore his twinkle gone.

"The last remaining heir gets control over the vaults when they are eleven. Never play me for a fool, now get lost all of you, before I get you all arrested," said Harry.

"Why would you arrest us?" asked Shacklebolt looking shocked.

"After what you lot did to me? Casting the Cruciatus curse at me? Hitting me with dark curses? Trying to test my ability apparently. Well you better leave because casting those curses could have you in Azkaban before night time" said Harry smirking viciously at the Aurors who looked sick and worried now.

"Harry are you alright?" asked Hermione stepping away from the Order, they may have been sussed out, but she was sure she wasn't and could still get information from the Order.

"And you, you stay away from me as well, you know-it-all bint, did you seriously think I would not find out about you being paid to befriend me as well? Wanted to get money to go to Collage didn't you?" at her shocked look he chuckled.

"Well it's all gone bitch, every penny that was mine. Now that you are penniless and no longer Harry Potter's best friend you might find it hard to get into the most prestigious boarding Collage" finished Harry smirking.

"What? Hermione is not using us Harry!" said Ron softly looking shocked.

"Oh you all deserve Oscar's for this, perhaps you should go into acting, that's something you seem good at" said Harry looking more amused than anyone remembered seeing him.

"What do you mean Harry?" Asked Ron confused.

"You are as thick as shit, I wonder how you managed to keep your gob shut for as long as you have. Your family is now poor of course too, I took all the money back that you took from me, so you might have to go back to wearing your hand-me-downs again" said Harry smirking.

"Now are you leaving or do I need to get the Aurors?" asked Harry sweetly.

"Stupefy" shouted Dumbledore at Harry, their eyes widened and they all ducked when the spell went flying back at Dumbledore, hitting him square in the chest.

He went flying onto the middle of the ground in Diagon Ally.

"Enervate" said Shacklebolt wakening Dumbledore up.

"Come on lets leave" said Dumbledore his heart feeling like it was about to squash any minute. He was getting too old for this; he never thought that the spell would bounce back. He had underestimated Harry Potter once again, and would have to think of something else.

"Severus?" Asked Dumbledore when the man didn't move.

Severus mutely shook his head, 'no he wasn't coming' the man nodded his head, thinking Severus was going to try and get Harry back.

"Why did you leave?" asked Severus softly.

"Like you really care, just get lost you wont have to put up with me any longer" said Harry just about to shut the door.

"I think I at least should be allowed an explanation to why you left don't I?" asked Severus stopping the door from closing and coming into the house.

"No, you don't really want me, so why would you want an explanation?" Asked Harry.

"What are you talking about?" Asked Severus frowning. He didn't like being confused.

"Does your diary ring any bells?" asked Harry coldly.

"My Diary?" asked Severus paling completely.

"Yes, very enlightening it was too" said Harry.

"But how? No one but me should be able to read it," said Severus still pale but even more confused than before.

"Well in a way I suppose I do have your blood running though my body" said Harry not wanting to tell him that he was with child just yet.

"What? But you can't be my son, and I know I am no relation to James Potter or the Potters for that matter" said Severus adamant.

"I'm not your son no, but I am with child" said Harry, sighing before sitting down. He had not wanted to tell him, but he was not having the man thinking he was somehow his child.

"Child…?" Severus went completely pale and actually looking ready to faint. He backed up against the wall and slid down it, in a very undignified manner.

"How's it possible?" asked Severus, the last man that had a child was well before the founder's time.

"I'm powerful, powerful men can have children" said Harry watching Severus with no emotion on his face.

"I…I…I have to go" said Severus standing up and apparating from the spot looking physically sick.

"Well that went better than expected," said Harry sighing as he sat back against his chair putting the TV on.

Dumbledore and the Order split up, Dumbledore walking back to the opening at the leaky Cauldron. Flooing to Hogsmeade, the sweets shop Honey Dukes. He walked all the way back up to Hogwarts from there, along with Hermione, Ron and a few other people. Dumbledore needed to work off some anger before he even thought of talking to anyone.

Severus by then had spoken to Harry, and had apparated to Hogwarts just as Dumbledore and the others were walking in. Severus looked paler than ever, Dumbledore didn't ask, he didn't need to. He thought Severus had failed so he continued walking on. Severus now joining them, but he was not walking with them, he was more in the shadows.

"How did this happen? Have you two been talking about it somewhere Harry could have heard you?" snapped Dumbledore angry.

"No! I've not spoken about it" protested Hermione nearly wailing under Dumbledore's steel blue eyes.

"Then how does he know about you wanting to go to that very collage? How does he know?" asked Dumbledore ready to throttle them.

"He might have heard us talking! I don't know where, how or when! We used silencing spells all the time" said Hermione bravely.

"You must have forgotten, well that's your future down the drain" snapped Dumbledore maybe that would snap compliance back into her.

"What? Surely you can get it back?" asked Hermione weakly and wide eyed.

"No I cannot, he has control over them, but if you try your hardest to win Harry over I will give you the Dumbledore money. It means you only have a couple of months" snapped Dumbledore. Looking like he wanted to help her, but no one knew that the Dumbledore money was gone, spent over the past one hundred and nearly sixty years.

"Severus what happened when we left?" asked Dumbledore hoping for some good news.

"He has found out, I don't know how or why, but he has found out that you told me to get with him. Someone has been telling him everything, there is a traitor in the Order working for Potter," said Snape deciding to start some animosity within the Order. Until he decided what he was going to do?

He knew what he was going to do, he was going to beg Harry to read the entire diary, and hopefully that will let Harry know how he felt. Forgive him a little and perhaps let him be part of his child's life. His child, Harry was having his child, a son or Daughter who would love him unconditionally. A child he and Harry had created out of love for each other, Harry just didn't realize that yet.
